anyone who watches fox news, msnbc, when it's based on ideas, that's the essential premise of our country that we are free to have that dynamic and vigorous exchange. there is a very different philosophy and because they were able to have these mutual respect and it was noah's respect, but because they were able to fight it out in ideas and philosophy, we now live in the greatest, most prosperous nation in the face of the earth because the best ideas for evil to triumph because reason is left free to combat ideas that weren't that great. but we have the same the ability to be free to combat ideas. do you ever hear the obama administration defending why it works to raise taxes on small businesses on individuals who are successful? do you ever hear them say from an economic standpoint, this is how will generate more income and sustain it? it will only generate less than tom. so instead of trying to reticulated defense of their economic policies, they ripped us apart. they divided us. they start vilifying conservatives as hating poor people on the middle class. this whole class warfare thing
